What the Heck????

OK, I know I'm more "fragile" now, I've lost a significant amount of weight and was barely in my weight range to begin with - but..................

I have always had problems with my right hand. My doctor has found multiple tender/trigger points in it. It is not carpal tunnel (which is what I always assumed). I did NOTHING this weekend - in fact between sleep and resting I was down for 22 hours yesterday. However, my hand flare-up was pretty bad. At one point I had to get my daughter to open my water bottle for me.

This morning, I barely smacked the puppy on her rear for stealing one of the cat's food and now I swear either I have sprained the heck out of my hand or broken a small bone. It is swollen and bruised already - and only truly hurts (on Ultram) is when I straighten it out. If it's not better by this evening, I will go for an X-Ray, but what the HECK???

Lee Lee mentioned in a previous comment about doing tissue damage to your body by overdoing it - now I wonder, if this isn't how this incident happened so "easily". Meanwhile, I still have a cough, but resting all weekend did help the I'm going to die feeling. Yes, I'm back at work - I am fully ready to take a couple of weeks off (at least) and then try to come back with reduced hours - BUT, now my husband's job is in question...................now I'm hearing from him, that I MUST hold off until we find out for sure...............what the heck!!!???
